When I say total newbie I mean never been on a boat other than a cruise ship and had never been fishing Met him wearing my TOMMY HILFGER SHIRT, LEVI BRAND SHORTS and NIKE SNEAKERS at the lot in my GRAY/SILVER 2009 TOYOTA TACOMA WITHA 6 FOOT BED at 6:15 and launched about 6:30 . Headed out of port and could see the waves way out in the distance because I was wearing my RAY BAN GLASSES with LENS CRAFTER LENSES and since I saw the DEMOCRAT AND CHRONICLE newspaper paper and every other lousy wave forecast report said "a foot or less" I was a little shocked to see the 2+ foot rollers coming from the west and with my little 1994 BLUE AND GRAY 19.5 FT SEA NYMPTH WITH A 90 HP EVINRUDE MOTOR or as Ray K would say "Tin Can" I ran about 1/2 throttle out of port a little northwest and gave him the wheel and told him to just keep it straight which he did Set up in about 90 foot of water and set out my DIAWA HEARTLAND ROD and DIAWA SEALINE REEL with MALIN WIRE at 240 and my SCOTTY DOWNRIGGER at 75' where I found decent temps on the MOOR SUB TROLL 900 and put out the NORTHERN KING NBK and the white/green w/dots as a slider using SPRO SWIVELS. I had decided rigger one was gonna be the green side . As I was getting ready to put out the TRILENE 30 LB BIG GAME line on the other SCOTTY DOWNRIGGER, the 1st SCOTTY DOWNRIGGER fires and I grab the 8' EAGLE CLAW ROD and hand it over to Andy who I remember at this point is left handed and after watching Shawn/FX friend in his boat last week who was a lefty I realize this might get ugly but he did a great job all morning (a little jerky/twisty) and we get a teenge king HIS FIRST FISH EVER on the NBK. I reset that rigger again and move to the 2nd rigger just as that gets down and I am grabbing my 2nd wire rod to connect the LURE JENSEN DIPSEY DIVER the rigger 2 fires with the MOONSHINE carbon 14 and we get a decent 4-5lb steelie on the slider that had SEAGUAR 20LB FLUOROCARBON which was on the moon cricket. Reset again and the "green side" fires again! Well this took place back and forth for about and hr+ after checking the time on my APPLE I-PHIONE. ANDY going 8 for 8 and ME going 0-1 (had a steelhead do 2 somersaults and spit it ) After finally getting the 4th rod in the water we had made it about to the nose and started to head back over that area and the wire finally goes with a nice steelie of about 8lbs on a ITO KJ SPECIAL FLY behind a DREAMWEAVER green dot spin dr. Lake had flattened down to the 1 or less at this point and we picked a few more fish but it had slowed from the constant, set-hookup-net-release-reset we had been doing. We trolled using my JOHNSON 6HP kicker running on HESS GASOLINE into about 65fow and I am pulling lines and as I am reeling in the wire with the ITO DISCO BALL I get a steelie to hit it as I am reeling it in. Never had that happen before on the wire. We no sooner get that fish in the boat and the final pole left in the rigger hits and as we are fighting the fish there is a blow boat heading directly west and I look over and notice the damn thing is about 30-40 feet from us and the dope driving is not actually driving it he's got his back to us and sitting to the side not even near the wheel. I start to yell at the f-ing moron and he jumps up and runs to the wheel to turn away a bit this being after I had turned my boat north. The craziest thing that happened was me talking to Brian aka Gambler who had come out a bit later to fish with his wife and said he had "come out and started farming" I talked to him when I was heading in and he said he had stopped farming for the chickens because he couldn't get them to go words I never thought I would hear Talk to Brian Skipper19 he's become an expert on them Well I have done all my plugging of equipment on the south shore "FISHING REPORTS" page! A lot of that useless info should help you get fish on your next trip. This is the steelhead that whacked the wire while I was reeling it on. Had both treble and trailer engulfed in it's mouth and bled every where spraying blood all over my boat as you can see it was like a murder scene in my boat

Hey pink undies nice freaking job and that laker did not say hi to me they are to stupid

Total Hits: 7 ???? Total Boated: 12 ???? Seems a little odd

That could be the lead pic in the LOU video this year! That's one of the best pics ever on here

Who's this "fisherman" you speak of Ray L? It's FISH"IN"MAN !!! I couldn't cook anything to make it smell that bad unless it was your undies and if it smells "just like home" you might wanna hire a cleaner Sandy Creek had a bunch of algae floating on it when I was there Tuesday but DOES NOT stink like the Oak. That was brutal when I was there Sunday No one wants to say it but is there a chance maybe some of those cottages are dumping sewage into the creek hey before anybody jumps on me, it certainly wouldn't be the first time something like that took place.

Lucas those rods don't match your boat but will match the new fly you and Ryan came up with. Might match the "super secret" fly too

Sorry no sir! Well not until I get my new ITO Flies hat so that I'll have something to cover my dome with

Who is this capt Carl you all speak of? Is he the guy who left fish to find fish Nice job fish Ed you big bully

Beautiful brown there!

Nice report note to self >>>censored "don't leave fish to find fish"

Fresh mozzarella not goat cheese and some really bad looking bread but hey what do I know Sounds Like a typical Ray K trip, waves, small fish , him letting everyone else land the fish and an all around great time

"gibberish"

Mikey Y the angry face

Carl what exactly you trying to say I have some very very old Scottys and other than a switch and a brake handle that broke (not sure what the heck it hit ) they have worked like a champ. Easy to repair if anything should break like a switch or brake handle. Their customer service is TOP NOTCH also. Won't buy any other brand. No power used to put them down and come up like a well tuned sports car

Tom, that ain't right, just ain't... LMFAO clearly you have way too much time on your hands Yes Jack there are times I have to much time at night maybe I need to spend more time at night fishing maybe for walleye in Erie who can I go do that with

Still available? I am NOT be interested since I use/like Scotty's Somebody buy the darn thing he needs to feed his addiction! No not drugs or alcohol (well maybe the later ) but buying more tackle addiction

Great Video Jeremy

great report Rick. That is one screwed up looking king one be any doubts if anybody gets that one again

Great job Brian once again removing 2 more lakers/chickens from the lake Took the time to upload the pics of your fish for you Brian No need to thanks me

Mark that was really really weak

Just a thought: You sharpening them there hooks. Don't know if you do it but, check them before you put them out. I've been doing it a lot this year before I send them down, makes a world of a difference. Sometimes 1, 2 or all 3 barbs are dull as all heck. One of those things ya gotta get in the habit of doing if your not already good luck

I didn't realize Tom changed his name. Easy there ice auger repair man I've been on for the "most part" the last few trips Shawn pretty much explained that first 30-40 minutes to the T I understood his frustration from the entire week and didn't give him a hard time. He did have the hot fly sent once noon rolled around and he finally got his wire in the water to stay I did mention in passing that we should have gone back in used the Ray K theory and stripped all the wire and backing off. Then measure the wire by holding it across the parking lot and marking it every 7.29 feet then multiply that by 6.385 then divide that by how tall Ray is (4'6") and subtract the thickness of the spool plus the number of letters in the reel manufactures name then add the total numbers of the date in which we were doing this times the year the reel was manufactured then figure out how many inches of material were used to make Mark aka Skipper19's pink G string he wears while fishing total all that up and we would get the number of feet down to wire out ratio and then head back out so that we would catch a fish. If we had any line break we could have gone in and done it all over again then too. As it turned out we only had 18+ bites that morning netting 15. Damn it we should have gone in back in Shawn

Actually Ray I didn't that was just the guy setting the wire and rigger on the other side of the boat. Not sure what the problem was I just tried to ignore him and get my side set. That was a beautiful fish, it's ashame it didn't have the rest of it's tail might have been why it fought so darn weird couldn't "kick" great day om the water again
